Lindsey

Executive Director

“In rural communities you find our past—our roots and heritage—and our future. These communities are important to who we are and who we will be. It’s why I believe they should have every opportunity to thrive through access to quality healthcare, education and economic opportunity.”

Lindsey

Chief Strategist

“Rural communities are beautiful places inhabited by resilient people, but they are also fragile in a way. Almost a quarter of America’s elderly and one in five children live in rural areas.  I want the people who live in rural communities to know that they are important to America’s past and future.”

Chief Legal Officer

“Rural made me who I am today. Growing up in a small town I was lucky to have a support network of family, friends, and neighbors who all believed in caring for all members of our community. The spirit of looking out for others was and is entrenched in small town life. It is an honor to be a part of a foundation woven of this same fabric.”

Monica

Senior Administrator

“I live in rural Missouri. We laugh, cry, and work together. We stay connected to the land and each other. There is such diversity, beauty, and promise in our communities. It’s a way of life that should be both preserved and shared, and I am grateful to be a part of our Foundation's mission to make that happen."

Monica

Administrative & Operations Leader

“People shouldn’t have to relocate to find a better quality of life. I love finding organizations and individuals that are committed to cultivating their own back yards, and I’m glad that we as a foundation can help them step into their potential.”

Board of Directors

The Patterson Family Foundation was established to maintain accountability to community and cultivate values of education and hard work for current and future generations. Currently, the Foundation is led by the adult children of the Patterson Family.
